The Improv Draft
Welcome to The Improv Draft! An unruly bunch of improvisers have been randomly drafted onto teams to perform a night of long-form improv comedy. Everything is unscripted, made up on the spot, and inspired by suggestions from the audience.
See You Later Show
The See You Later Show is a stupidly silly take on a late night television show. From desk pieces like “Let’s Get Graphic” where host Rachel Niswander shares her latest comedic graphs, to Weekend Update-style character interviews with the “Guy Who Definitely Didn’t Tase Himself in the Balls”, the most fun components of late-night TV are combined into one show.
While each “episode” features new guests, several characters and sketches featured on shows in the past have also been featured in the Montreal Sketchfest, Sketch Night at the DC Improv, Austin Sketchfest, and the Seattle Sketchfest Fall Stream.
Featuring: Rachel Niswander, Josh Blume, Julia Schroeder, Rebecca Skowron, Devin O’Neill, Michelle Chan Bennett, Jetta Juriansz, and more TBD!
